Checked out tha new Shaxul Records today in SF. They had ONE decent record for an acceptable price. I do not recommend unless you have a black metal or thrash craving that can only be satiated by burning obscene amounts of cash. I did score a Dropdead & Totalitar split from Amoeba and some good pot, however, so the day wasn't a huge bust.
Curley and I, and our mom, are heading back to Atlanta on Thursday. I have to go back to Macon on Friday to get my check before 6, or else they hold it until Monday.

San Francisco - Summertime - School - etc
I finished my summer classes last Wednesday, which sort of sucked. For one, my teachers recommend that students take only one summer class. I understand why now- almost a semester of work crammed into a month is INSANE. Another, both the syllabi read that finals were on the 20th. SO I definitely showed up to Sociology without having studied... for my final. I passed Spanish with a 68 and I'm sure I did considerably better in Sociology, but my GPA is still very crippled. I need to pull some A's this fall semester.
So I moved out of the Hall the day before I came here to San Francisco. I got here on Friday and I leave on Thursday. My brother and I have hit most of the record stores and chilling spots in the city. I spent most of my check before I even got here, so I had to choose my purchases wisely. I snagged the Appalachian Terror Unit 7" and a repress of His Hero is Gone's "Dead of Night in 8 Movements" that Prank just did. The ATU record is fucking awesome, it came with a folded lyrics booklet/poster with sick artwork and a resealable wrapper. The whole thing is nicely packaged with an actual sleeve instead of the usual folded covers. The HHiG EP isn't anything special, but I had to buy it for nostalgic purposes. That shit still isn't dated, ten years later. The only bummer was having to decide between the HHiG or SFN's nasty new demo.
We decided to forgo the MDC set in Berkley because the train ride is a hassle and they didn't book any other good bands for the show. Plus it sucks having to absorb the cost of admission + a "membership card" (fee) every time I go to Gilman to see some punk bands, but that's how it goes.
